As a creative coach at The Art Process Studio (based in Los Angeles), Kathy Leader experienced firsthand the powerful, calming nature of creativity and its positive effects on the body and mind.
She says, “There is a palpable change in energy that occurs even just a few minutes into the art experience."
Throughout this creative journey together, Kathy will guide you into the present moment through a process-oriented art experience. Become immersed in the creative process!
“Through my own personal journey, I have moved from harsh self-criticism to nurturing a deeper understanding of what supports my creative growth as an artist, teacher, and human being. My goal is to inspire, encourage, and facilitate the art process within your own life so that you may live each day with purpose and fulfillment. The healing aspect of art is about the experience of creating and not the end result.”
